Winemaker Notes

The near-vertical slope of the Monts Damnés produces wines that have delicate tropical fruit (a proof of ripe Sauvignon grapes) and vibrant citrus aromas. The palate confirms this fruitiness and brings a nice and clean mineral note. Served at 10-12°C, this very concentrated wine expresses its strong personality. With three to five years of bottle aging, the wine gains roundness, richness, and complexity.

This wine can be enjoyed with a great variety of dishes: Asian recipes, white meats like veal escalope stuffed with prawns, and marjoram. As for cheese, a Munster would do a great match.

Professional Ratings

  • 92

    Fresh apples, baked pears, baking spices and stones on the nose following through to a medium to full body with plenty of volume and control on the mid-palate. Dense yet vivid with a precise and lively finish.

  • 92
    A dense, serious Sancerre, with waxy pear and orchard fruit cut with pithy lemonyacidity. Mineral depth anchors all the opulence, while a salted brioche note plays out on thelong finish. Complex and ageworthy, with green herbs and a lot of energy and cut. Drink nowthrough 2032.
